Your loyalty doesn't matter to them. Straight out of their own ticket reps mouth "they'll sell to whoever pays the listed ticket amount."
I think that's called business. And all teams do it; some just have so many devoted fans that they don't NEED to.

And OP, I know there are a couple of Packers bars around. I believe there is at least one in Cave Creek.

The Buffalo Chip in Cave Creek has the reputation of the best Packer bar in Arizona. Haven't been there yet, but will check it out soon. Although, I have NFL Ticket, so I can watch all the games at home without having to pay extra for beer or stand in line to use the rest room.

By the way, the Buffalo Chip was once owned by former Packer legend Max McGee.

I'll only watch them when the Packers aren't on opposite them. And since I have NFL Ticket I will be able to see all of the Packer games...which leaves very few Cardinals games to watch. Although I do have Carson Palmer and John Brown on my fantasy team, so I'll be tuning in occasionally to check how they're doing.

You haven't been paying attention the last decade, have you? The organization from the top-down is completely different than when Bill ran the team.

The only thing that has changed in 10 years is we spent millions of dollars to build them a new stadium.
Warner spent 5 seasons here and was very average until Todd Haley and Whiz showed up. I'd still trust Arian's QB decisions over Whiz any day. I also recall there was no local tax hike for residents.

There's no official organization but there's a group of Lions fans that watch at Majerle's. Game is always on (sometimes with sound).

If you're a fan of other teams, 506 Sports, is a great resource to see if your team will be broadcast locally or if you need to hit up a bar.

Anyone know of any bars in North or even downtown Phoenix catering to Bears fans? I'm aware of Half Moon near the 51 and Camelback...just wondering about other options.

I don't know of any places that "cater" to Bears fans but at many bars it's a matter of arriving early, picking your place and requesting your game.

They got lucky with Kurt Warner. Their history of getting old QBs hasn't changed. It just worked out.... Once.

Yeah, Carson Palmer has just been awful...

Don't bring up injuries. An ACL tear is not a fluke and he played all 16 games his first year in AZ.
